In rare move, judge lets defense examine slaying scene

Damian Burkett will get to examine the Langsingburgh home where police say he strangled his girlfriend. Burkett’s attorney, Jerome Frost, convinced Rensselaer County Court Judge Robert Jacon to let him bring a crime scene investigator into the home where Burkett allegedly killed Des-Hawn Parker.

I don’t see any harm in allowing the defense to do this. Especially when you are talking about putting a guy away for life if he is found guilty. I am not a bleeding heart or anything, but I believe in giving the defense the same access as the government. If the prosecution has its ducks in a row and can prove their case beyond a reasonable doubt, they should be able to do so even if the defense has an opportunity to view the crime scene.
